HEARD ON THE STREET.
Some OF the Ideas That Fill the Heads
of "New Dominion Readers.

Mr.. j. M. Devine, former stu
dent of the University, arrived in
town Tuesday to visit his old friends
for few days. Joe looks healthy
but probably not SO fleshy as he did
when we last saw him. He is an
energetic, talented, persevering
young man who is destined to have
a place near the top. He is at pres
ent practicing law in La Moor, La
Moor county, Dakota. Last year
he was elected County Superintend-
ent of his county at a salary of
81 200 per year and ten cents mile
age. We give below few of the
many facts brought out during a
conversation with him at the Wal
lace House:
la Moor is a town of recent
growth with population of 700,
four railroads, seven hotels, three
churches and fine school, the prin-
cipal of which gets a salary of 81 900
with two lady assistants, whose sal
aries are $500 each, and the attend
ance being but 50. A No / certifi-
cate requires knowledge of the
higher branches, as Geology, Zoolo-
gy, Botany, Natural Philosophy,
Trigonometry, DC. The conductors
of institutes receive $12 per day.
In these institutes, which are com
posed largely of ladies, all take
deep interest in the discussions of
the questions relative to their pro-
fession, and the ladies in particular
enter into such discussions with ease
and dignity.
'ln consequence OF the enterprising
people, who settled in the West, for
they must hustle or starve, there are
more and better schools according
to their population for they know
the value Of good schools, than there
are in the Eastern States, and in or
der to have good schools they are
willing to pay good salaries. Few
county uperintendents receive less
than $1,000 per year, and most of
the teachers receive 100 per cen4
more than teachers do in Eastern
States. La Moor county in 1880
had population of 100; to-day it
has population of over 5000, the
area of this county is Sc miles by g.
The people are wholly engaged in
raising wheat. 1t is located about
30 miles north of the 7th standard
parallel, which was adopted in the
last election as the division line be-
tween northern and southern Dakota.
In speaking of the recent election he
also said. that 80 out of 50 counties
adopted local option, thus showing
the views of the people of Dakota ON
the prohibition question. Dakota
last year shipped 100000 bushels
of wheat at So cents per bushel He
further said that any young man or
lady who wished to teach ought, by
all means, to locate in the West, but
he would not advise young doctor
or lawyer to go West. Every rose
has it's thorn, so with us, our severe
winters are a source of inconven-
fence, but, however, this is greatly
ameliorated when a person is engaged
in lucrative business or profession.
The almighty dollar holds at bay the
piercing winters wind"

MARION COUNTY THUGS.
Beat Man Almost to Death and Rob
Him.
Fairmont Index.

One evening last week while Mr..
Perry Hall, who resides in Manning
ton district near the head of Binga-
mon creek, was returning home in a
wagon, he was attacked by two men,
who jumped up into the wagon from
behind and, Selling him by the arms
and throat, demanded his money.
He attempted to tear himself from
their grasp, when one of the villains
struck him terrific blow with a
club, dislocating one of his should
ers. Mr.. Hall made no further re-
sistance and the scoundrels quickly
went through his pockets, finding
only seventyfive cents, however, in
his purse. They took the money
and after unhitching the horses from
the wagon disappeared in the dark
ness, leaving Mr.. Hall to get home
as best he could. 1t was known
that he had sold a horse that day
and received So in cash, but he had
used the money the same day in
making payment on his land. 1t
is presumed that this money was
what the amateur highwaymen were
after, and that the villains are no
strangers to the community.

Our Meaty CassvilIe Letter.

CAssyILLE, Nov. 14.--The teach
ers' Institute which had been pre-
viously announced convened at this
place Saturday and Saturday night.
The teachers as well as the con-
ductor were very slow to assemble,
consequently the forenoon exercises
were not very largely attended, owing
to the lateness of the hour of
commencement the forenoon's work
was not completed until afternoon.
The afternoon exercises were we'll
attended, the program being follow
ed as nearly as possible.
BY the time of commencing the
evening exercises the house was
completely packed. 1t would take
up too much space in your valuable
paper to explain how well each one
handled his part of the work.
There was very good order
throughout the exercises. Excel
lent vocal music was furnished by
J. S. Lough and daughters Misses
Rosa and Maggie, with Misses Ma
mic and Hattie Barrickman as or
ganists. The Cassville Orchestra
furnished some very excellent instru-
mental music at night. Among
those from distance who took a
part in the exercises, we noticed Mr..
Freeland of Mt. Morris, Pa. There
was one amusing speaker who occu-
pied the floor many times and who
insisted upon introducing some new
and peculiar sayings, among the rest
was a new passage Of Scripture viz:
"Every tub shall stand upon it's own
bottom. Suffice it to say the exer-
cises were interesting and instruc-
tive. Chas. Tucker, Cincinnati, and
his mother, of Littleton, W. Va, are
visiting his aunt Mrs. j. Tucker,
who has been very low and is still
poorly.
Tommy Barker, who has been
suffering from a badly bruised foot
for two.wecks, is able to attend school
to-day.
Glen Eakin, of Wadestown, is

4 HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.
To Squire W. p. Barker, The Excel
lent Warden OF the County In
Urinary.


LAUREL PoINT, Nov. ia short
stop and some observations at the
county Infrmary kept by w. p. Bar
ker, Esq. convinced me that the
poor of this county are very well
cared for.
There are in the Infrmary at this
time SO persons, their ages ranging
from 3 to 81 years. Two of them
pay their own way.
Squire Barker sends the younger
ones to school hoping to make good
men and women of them.
There is one curious person at the
Infrmary named John Culpin. He
has six fingers on each hand and SIX
toes on each foot. Those who be-
lieye that man sprung from the mon
key or cat ought to go and see him.
1t might lead to the discovery of the
missing link
To show Squire Bankers way of
providing for his large family, ! will
say be has twenty head of hogs
ready to kill and another killing for
Christmas. He has killed beef
every week during the past summer
He has his bins full to the brim for
the coming winter and of the very
best. ! want to congratulate the
county court and the people for be-
ing SO fortunate as to secure the ser
vices of such, excellent people as
Squire Barker and his wife to take
charge of the Infirmary. All say he
is the right man in the right place,
and / have no doubt the County
Court will retain him. 1t will not
be possible to make contract with
anyone else at lower figure, for it
would be impossible to keep the poor
for less than $l.14 each per week.
This is not quite six cents per meal,
and if they are ever kept for less
than that | will believe there are
some very stingy people in Monon-
gala county. X.

Prof. Hodges at the Harrisburg, Pa,
Institute.

The Harrisburg daily Cal, the
leading paper of that city, referring
to Prot. Thos. E. Hodges at one OF
the sessions, says
After music and devotional exer-
cises, Prof. Hodges entertained all
by a practical, interesting talk on
reading. The speaker considered it
the most natural expression of
thought and deplored the fact that
it is greatly neglected. "He who is
able to express well the thoughts in
a reading lesson is better able to ex-
press well his own thoughts. The
ability to read and understand is of
the greatest Importance. The fun
damental thing in reading" he as
serted, sis to understand the
thought" "There should be cor
rect enunciation Of the vowel ele-
ment The lay sounds should be
taught with cognates." He advoca-
ted word analysis, and is in favor of
the use of the spelling book.
In another part Of the report the
same paper says:
Prof Hodges dissertation on
"Shool Government was an inter
esting feature of the afternoons ses-
sion. Among some of his exposi-
tions were: at is not necessary al
ways to govern physically. The eye
is a great factor in school govern
ment." He was opposed to violent
and harsh language in school gov
eminent. Il am opposed to using
force when avoidable, but there are
times when people are only prevent
ed from doing wrong from fear of
punishment. When hydro headed
rebellion presents itself in my school
room, it must be crushed out of ex-
istance at any cost" The old idea
Of corporal punishment is exempli-
fed in DR.. Johnson's expression,
when he said: When you see three
boys together get at and lick them"
The Professor was very enthusiastic
in his declarations with reference to
the moral and Christian forces that
should operate in school, and his
enthusiasm seemed to have conta-
gious element in it, for everybody
went away happy and highly pleased
with his entertaining remarks.
